While I don’t understand why the Gears demo is US only, for most things, licensing is completely different in Canada than the US. It’s unfortunate but it’s just something you’d be best to accept if you’re in Canada as it’s not worth getting upset about.

Honestly, while I can’t speak to Gears specifically (have only played the original & I barely touched the campaign), I’m fine with shooters having campaigns that average around 10 hours or quite frankly in most situations, less.

you don’t see demo’s of top sellers (pathetic, but true)..obviously they didn’t do as well as they hoped.
i’m passing anyway, would’ve loved a gears 1 demo way back when, but y’all were too big for one then.. i aint helpin ya now and have passed on the series.

Major, so to download the demo, you may want to add it is restricted to Gold members.
I realized most demo’s require Gold and I am missing out as a Silver, but would be nice to see you list that too.
All the same, thanks for the great info!

I just started playing through the triple pack as a refresher until I get Gears 3 and the graphical jump is crazy going from 1 directly to 3. Yes it’s expected but gosh… Good thing Cliff was listened to on that memory boost or things might have been different this pass year.

Why doesn’t the ‘purchase the full game’ link actually do something more intelligent – such as link to a digital download of the full game from Games on Demand. This paralysing fear Microsoft have of offending old fashioned stores by offering downloads day and date (and priced intelligently) is absurd. Cut the cord, so to speak, it’s time to stop forcing people to buy plastic circles, and all the wasteful manufacturing, distribution, and middle man profits they entail.

In short, grow a backbone, and move with the times. Apple seem to be doing fine with this model.

Considering that the digital content from the first Xbox Live is no longer useable, I’d rather there be a firm commitment from MS as to what will happen to our content when the next gen hits first. There’s no reason to rush into $60 purchases with zero consumer rights at work.

“stop forcing people to buy plastic circles, and all the wasteful
manufacturing, distribution, and middle man profits they entail.”

Yeah, those darn plastic circles that friends can borrow, can be resold, can be taken elsewhere, can be rented, and last for a long time without any online DRM schemes. Yeah, stupid plastic circles.
